I got it fixed! It was the ignition coil. The old one was bulged on the bottom and cracked at the top. I installed a new coil and hooked it up properly with a resistor so that it gets full voltage only when the starter motor is cranking and a diode so that the current does not back feed from the coil to the starter.
The only problem was when I removed and re-installed the starter cable, the 3/8 inch stud spun in place and twisted off the field winding connection inside the starter.
I tried to repair it by silver brazing an extension to the copper winding and bringing it out through the hole in the starter body.
The starter repair did not work. I am not sure what went wrong, I used some fiberglass sleeving and brush on electrical tape.
I must have pinched something when it went back together. I did not have any more time to fool with it so I ran out and bought a rebuilt starter.
I am still amazed by the fact that the tractor is 75 years old and my dealer (Messick Farm Equipment, Elizabethtown PA) had the starter in stock!
The price was reasonable, I could have bought one on ebay for a little bit less but it was worth it to me to have it right away.

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
